This technical report resulted from a study to develop Austroads guidelines on network level assessment and analysis of data on pavement structural condition. This report outlines the benefits of network level assessment of the structural condition,…

The report describes the work undertaken in the second year of a two year project to assist implementation of a new Australian asphalt mix design procedure. The main tasks undertaken were (i) publication of an update for the Australian Provisional…

Progress towards the development of an integrated specification for Bitumens, Multigrades and Polymer Modified Binders (PMBs) has been achieved by the Austroads Binders project group in 2001/2002. Contributions to this task have been made in the…

This report is the final output of the Austroads project T+E.P.N.528 - `Development of Pavement Structural Condition Parameters for Estimation of Remaining Life`. Currently in Australasia different parameters are used to represent pavement strength…

This paper describes a study undertaken for Austroads into the growing use by road authorities of "performance" as opposed to "prescriptive" forms of contracts and specifications, and attempts to quantify the expected benefits from this approach and…

This report has been prepared as part of Austroads project NT & E 9904 (T & EP N006), “The Development of Performance Contracts and Specifications”, the goal of which is to develop a framework for performance contracts and specifications. The report…
